I remember having the conversation at the first League 2 game “Do you think you’ll see Cov in the prem in your life time” Bearing in mind he would have been about 50 and we both agreed probably not.
Not only have we done it before he’s turned 60, we’ve done it in HIS dad’s lifetime. it’s truly astounding
Walsall fan here. I joined this board a decade ago as for a while we had this faux rivalry going on. The M6 el Classico nonsense.
Anyway - just popping by to say I’m absolutely chuffed to bits for you. The scenes last night were superb. I’m mostly chuffed for those of you I conversed with on here back then. Who stuck with it, who stuck by your team, your club, your city.
We've been building up to it all season so part of me has accepted it already. Another part of me can't believe that we've done it. Yet another part wants the title too so it's not done yet.
I look in my mirror every day and ask myself "am I a numpty?" And I know that I am, because we've had no mirror there where I'm looking since we took it down two years ago .
I think it feels much bigger because of where we’ve been. We’re not a yo-yo Sheff Utd or Ipswich. We’ve come from the bottom tier with no ground. That’s what makes it feel so big. Fantastic.
